Ossu! Early morning and comin' up at you!

https://youtu.be/NDXbtx3Rrsg

This week we're having a look at:

Canyon - Anakin1472
Rainbow Factory - dbowens123
The Psychadeleum - CaptainCrunk-116
Cave platformer - jekmasikje
cardboard land - URABadDog

It's certainly a set of levels. Yup, definitely a set of levels. You can't take that away from it. Honestly, though, there're some fun ones here, but the lot could probably use a bit of polish. Still, hopefully there's at least one in there that looks like a good time to you. Thanks, as always for all the support and feedback, and have a great day!

Ossu! Tuesday Takeaway time has come 'round again!

Canyon - Anakin1472
Nothing spectacular here, but nothing really terrible either. The look could stand a bit more polish, and the grapple section could be made a bit more clear, but that's about it, really. i do find it a touch odd that the name of the level is canyon, but there's nothing in the actual level that gives the impression of a canyon. Maybe Anakin1472 just likes that word?

Rainbow Factory - dbowens123
So, i missed the whole My Little Pony thing. It blew up well after i got to Japan, so... Anyway, apparently Rainbow Factory is a grimdark fanfic based on a fan-made song that was done for a contest? i think? i looked it up, but it didn't seem like life-critical information, so most of it is out of the memory bank already. From what i gather, the factory grinds up failed pegasi to make rainbows? i don't know. Anyway, that all makes this like a fourth-degree removed fanwork? Which is pretty meta. The gallery is garbage, though. i mean, beyond the fact they didn't tell us it would be a gallery. There was just zero effort put into the presentation. i guess one of the costumes was kind of ok?

The Psychadeleum - CaptainCrunk-116
i really enjoyed the look of this one, it's not purely random, there's some method to the madness of the presentation. i really like when that works out, it reminds me a bit of Creature Feature, i think it was. We looked at it last season if i'm remembering right. The gameplay is where things fall down, for me at least. i never felt like i could keep a smooth pace going through the level, even this time when i basically had everything mapped out in my head. That start-stop is a little annoying even in a SackThing level, it really stands out in an Oddsock one. Still, i think i could recommend this one for a few plays. It's still pretty new, too, only published last week with 11 plays, and three are mine.

Cave Platformer - jekmasikje
Looking at this one with a perfectly critical eye, it could stand a lot of polish. The environment needs some more decorating, and the power-up removers really need to be made invisible. In fact, the level could probably be changed a little to allow the power-ups to be completely removed. There's also well too much flat running going on. Still, i'm a sucker for the fake-out ending, which shows up surprisingly infrequently in levels. jekmasikje manages to pull it off twice here, and i really enjoyed it.

cardboard land - URABadDog
Ummm....yeah...this was...it was a thing. The boss actually bashed itself apart this time, so...that's something i haven't seen before. i do feel bad about running over those cardboard chappos in the video.

So, that's the that. Not the best set of levels we've seen, but not the worst for the most part. Hope there was something in there that you could have fun with, at least. Thanks as always for the support, and have a great day!

Behind the Curtains Stuffs
i'm really loving the update to Unknown Armies, but i wish they'd given it another quick pass by an editor. There are tons of subject/verb agreement mistakes. Seeing as that's probably the number 2 or 3 most frequent mistake my students make, it stands out like a giant neon sign whenever i see it. i think what happened was they did a search-replace on pronouns, and then forgot to change the verbs. It's driving me up the wall, though. *sigh* This is the curse of being an English teacher, i suppose.
